CLINTON >> A 56-year-old man who allegedly burglarized two homes in town and stole jewelry and coins turned himself in on a warrant this week, according to a police report.

On Jan. 29 just after noon, Michael McAllister of Indian Drive, Clinton, surrendered on two outstanding warrants for his alleged involvement in two breaking and entering crimes.

Police launched an investigation after several acquaintances of McAllister reported items missing from their homes. The report says he had access to one of the residences after dog-sitting for the homeowner.

Authorities say they haven’t yet established when McAllister entered the second home and stole jewelry and coins, which he later sold to a local coin and gold buyer, the report details.

Clinton police, who indicate he has another pending warrant pending, charged McAllister with third-degree burglary and third-degree larceny. He was released on a $500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Middletown Superior Court on Feb. 11.
